… to demonstrate that Fediverse posts are worth the time and effort. Perhaps there is also an argument for a feature request: maybe there should be audience metrics for toots?! Though I imagine that could be difficult due to Federation. Again, I have no idea if one already gets numbers and insight by running an instance.)
Perhaps we can move beyond numbers in the long run, but for now, I fear people enjoy them even if they gain nothing from them. Kinda like a game highscore, I suppose.

@meganmariehart I currently have a reel on IG that has gotten 270K likes. I didn't create it. Someone on mastodon posted it, I downloaded the video, and reposted it there. I feel no great achievement with the numbers, but it's fun to watch it tick up and up and up. My other engagement hasn't changed much. A few hundred followers who generally don't respond to my daily posts, no more.

Yes, of course the "plants" need watering...

“It sounds like just as though you're describing some form of super carrot.”
“That's nearly right. This carrot, as you call it, has constructed an aircraft capable of flying some millions of miles through space propelled by a force as yet unknown to us.” -
@meganmariehart I never use hashtags on Mastodon since I forgot that they were used in Twitter. They are not used in Telegram. In case of Russian mastodon there are 2 bots that boost your posts if they are written in russian. I have no idea how they are boosted if they are written in English and how, let's say, a person would find somebody to follow in Mastodon if he only registered and wants to find something to read and interact with.
@Sevapopov @meganmariehart I use hashtags because I and others follow them to find specific content. Some people block things like the name of the president to avoid seeing it. They are my favorite tool.

@AvacadoAvenger I figured as much. I'm just trying to gauge the size of the ballpark. Thank you!
@meganmariehart @AvacadoAvenger nor is it easy to qualify. Does the reader read the entire post, or just the first few words? Do they give it some thought, or dismiss it as irrelevant/uninteresting? Is the reader mindlessly scrolling, partially or fully engaged?

@meganmariehart You're posting links to the shows, and you seem to be reasonably well connected on the Fediverse - you could pick one to leave out (together with the theatre's media team) and they could check their analysis tools to see how much of a dent that makes to website traffic.
@patrick Yeah. That would have been the way to do it if I was smart.
Oh well, what's done is done. Thanks! 😸 -
… and opera is primarily a live art form, so its market share is so small as to be essentially unmeasurable. I never bothered to find out how many people I reach vs how many interactions a post gets. I really couldn’t care less!) Brands and “Influencer”-minded people, even people just used to commercial socials testing the fediverse might feel like it is not working for them and leave again, so I was wondering about the *potential* reach of a toot.
4/7@meganmariehart I'm a novelist. I enjoy Mastodon as a water cooler experience with people in my various communities, with hastags being useful. Not interested in trying to flog my books here, or seeing any others who do so.

@meganmariehart When running an instance, it’s possible to retrieve the number of times or number of users that have viewed the post directly on that instance.
But you don’t see the number of views on the other instances the post has reached.

@meganmariehart I am reading your posts carefully. :) Sadly, it's far too far to travel from Greifswald to Darmstadt, but I'm really envious of the programme at your theatre.
@jakmarcin Thank you! Do you go to Theater Vorpommern? I auditioned there years ago, nothing came of it though. I have fond memories of the region and salty liquorice!

@patrick Yeah. That would have been the way to do it if I was smart.
Oh well, what's done is done. Thanks! 😸@meganmariehart All good! :-)
I like that you're thinking about these matters and I appreciate your presence here. Nice insights, and good advertising (though I'm still more likely to end up in the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, even though it's a longer distance. Old habits etc etc) -
@meganmariehart Many theaters have websites that run via the software WordPress. All they have to do is install a plugin (and to take 10 minutes reviewing the settings) and their website is connected to the Fediverse. Even less work.
@linos Thank you! That’s apparently how Das Opernmagazin got on here, @opernmagazin !

Trying to find out how many people see a post without hashtags. Thank you!
(edit: Why, you ask? Long thread coming up … 1/7)
@meganmariehart Why do you use THE IMPERATIVE FORM IN UPPERCASE when you post something?
Do you know the word "please"?
Do you have to SHOUT orders to strangers when you conduct an experiment?
-
@meganmariehart I see it. But I boost or quote only things which have value.
@simon_brooke Fair, thank you for your reply!

...ma chi l'avrebbe mai detto che avrei condiviso quello che dice Calenda?
